Sharing your map

You can share links to custom maps you've made, which could include:

  • where you are on the map and how zoomed in you are
  • which basemap you're using and any changes you have made to it - including opacity and saturation
  • the layers you have switched on and any changes you have made to them - including alternative styles

Warning

Any annotations, measurements or custom layers you add will not be included in your map link.

There are two ways you can get a link of your map to share.

The easiest way is to copy and paste the URL in your browser address bar.

Alternatively you can click on the Share icon on the right-hand side of the page and copy your link from there.

DorsetExplorer share links can be quite long, especially if you have a search result pin or alternative styles applied. You can generate a short link using the 'Generate short link' button. This will generate a link that will do exactly the same as the long link, but much shorter.
